I had opined years ago on this very same topic and I would not go in-depth this time around but to simply say: Nigeria and Nigerians like to copy things ...good or bad. There's nothing wrong in taking an idea or a concept and modifying it to serve your purpose. We take things and use them whether it serves our purpose or not. I am sure that wig gets so fricking hot with the type of weather that Nigeria has. What is the essence of the wig? It is believed that it brings a sense of formality and solemnity to proceedings. Like many uniforms, wigs are an emblem of anonymity, an attempt to distance the wearer from personal involvement and a way to visually draw on the supremacy of the law. Wigs are so much a part of British criminal courts that if a barrister doesn't wear a wig, it's seen as an insult to the court. The wig as part of our legal system is one of those vestiges of our colonial past that we must do away with. |

It is not only the dress code of our lawyers that needs serious overhauling. The entire judicial system is in dire need of reforms. 2 Likes |

Amacaco: How to know one is a mental slave? Just read posts like yours, your submission makes one worry And I mean no disrespect, we have not been educated, we were indoctrinated, and this affects us beyond measure Kindly follow @ musicwriter on this this forum, and you will delearn, unlearn and relearn, and free your mind, and pass it on (we all need to be free in Africa) P.S. I am a "professional" too , but I know that that means next to nothing, I know the search for truth and freedom are nobler endeavours. Cheers |

merahki: Good day. I already posted on this thread. Our people just don't understand what an illusion we're living in Africa. You can see clearly that the people you're trying to help already have their brains destroyed. That's by the way. I created the post below yesterday, and you'll be definitely interested https://www.nairaland.com/4871133/every-african-should-please-read The book was written by an African-American woman. The woman deeply understands the nature of our present predicament, she echoed everything I wrote in my book. If you were to write a book, you'll probably write that type of book. Check it out. Cheers. 2 Likes |

One other mindset we must do away with is confusing imperial legacy with colonialism. Some still refer to Britain as, "Our colonial master". Who made them your master? We were victims of Brittish imperial prowess. Colonialism entails introducing population where it never existed. How many Brittish people do we see living like normal native people? They only come as visitors, diplomats, expatriates, etc. A major reform worth doing is removing precedence to English laws from our judicial system. Our culture is different from English's. We see where a murderer is granted bail only for such to become greater nuissance and menace than before. European aptitude differs from ours. |
